Why are stories important? How have they shaped our thinking and view of the world? Come follow my stories and see what we have in common. Ducks In My Pool, is about a family of ducks who chose our backyard as a safe place to build their nest. For over ten years ducklings have hatched and swam in our pool. I realized God gave me a metaphor through the ducks to show His love and safety as I trust in Him.

Grocery List of Ninety Two Year Old

Grocery List of Ninety Two Year Old Mom

What does the grocery list of my ninety-two year year old mom say about her? First of all if she lived to ninety-two it might be a good idea to take notice of what she eats. Raisin Bran has been on her shopping list since I was a kid. Each morning she starts out the day with bran and raisins are a bonus. Graham crackers are delicious dipped in milk. They are a cross between a cookie and a biscuit. She loves Oscar Mayer Salami between two slices of bread, with real mayonnaise not light or artificial. Two dozen eggs are on her list each time because they are pure and full of vitamins. It might bring back the memory of getting eggs each morning from the angry hen.

Grocery lists can be considered a primary source. It was handwritten by my mom and tells she likes simple things. What is not on the list is coke or any kind of soda. She feels they are not good for the stomach. She chooses things that are natural, such as eggs. When I go shopping with my mom she can buy all she needs for under a hundred dollars. It would be interesting to compare other shopping lists to see if they are similar for an age group.

His Dwelling Place

God loved me so much He gave me a visual picture of His safety and faithfulness as I watched ducklings huddling under their mother. He doesn't want us to forget He is there for us. He needs us to stay under His wings. He'll do the rest.

Psalm 91:4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.
